PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Konstantinos Nevrakis (ranked 799 p4p, 95 weight class) and Hlasela Dlamini (ranked 3234 p4p, 355 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nevrakis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Winds of Ithaca. Hlasela Dlamini has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
